Does this mean the current Ultrashift levers won't shift a triple crank? I have 2006-vintage Record and Chorus brifters on two bikes, both with triple cranks, and they do use 7 clicks to shift to all three rings. I would hate to give that up when the brifters have to be replaced.
Also, I understand that for 2013, Campy is reintroducing triple cranks at the Athena and below level with Athena being 11-speed and Centaur, etc. remaining 10-speed. I wonder if the corresponding brifters will be modified to shift these triples or if the current versions already will.
